You know, the place where you can watch HBO shows, but why advertise that?
The 2023 Max rebrand was a result of the platform's merge with reality TV-focused streaming service Discovery+, but WBD appears to be backtracking on that decision as well, purging hundreds of seasons of those shows from the platform.

The HBO Max rebrand goes into effect this summer, but people online are already laughing at WBD's backtrack.
